JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A 22-year-old man was killed late Monday night when the car he was riding in hit a tree along Loretto Road, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said.

Andrew Gilmore was a front seat passenger in a pickup truck that was speeding west in the 2700 block of Loretto Road when it drifted off the north shoulder of the road and the driver over-corrected, causing the truck to slide. The front of the truck hit a large pine tree, and Gilmore was ejected, police said.
